Re: Random Thoughts XVI
can't believe this past draft was pretty good for us. we hit on both players. reminds me of the 2002 draft when we got the two butlers. rasual still hanging around on the spurs.

I knew I should've went out to watch the fights tonight, felt Conor was going to eat his words after he called Nate a cholo or something to that extent.

Yeah lol Conor did a big mistake moving up class. Should have stayed in his lane and fought but nope. Man... nowadays no one's belt is safe. I know Conor still has it but Holly lost etc... Realistically I can only see Jon Jones holding onto his belt for a long, long time.

Yeah, tonight was full of surprise to me. I expected both Holly and Conor to keep their belts, but boy was I dead wrong.

Re: Random Thoughts XVI
We have far too many stickied threads.
I'd like to suggest that we only have 2 or 3 - one of them being the GT which is unstickied and replaced with each new game.
If a thread is interesting it'll stay on the first page if not let it go. So what if another similar thread replaces it in a few weeks/months time.

Never understand this complaint- it takes a millisecond to scroll down with your phone & on the computer screen there are 20 threads - most unstickied. Can you explain why stickies are bad? For me it's a lot easier to remember one thread than a dozen.

If you can't get on the site everyday then quite often new topics are off the first page when you have 8 or 9 stickies.
If the stickies are so important they'll stay at the top because people will use them.

Re: Random Thoughts XVI
So like one of the mods here gave me a warning in the summer for posting as a troll Cavs fan because I had a life long Cavs sig and posting about Kobe . Howie told me that said warning effects my gb appeal and adviced me to wait (howie is nice). Whoever did it can you like tell him it was a misunderstanding and that I'm like a real heat fan who doesn't troll this board. I'd like my gb privileges back.
Ps it's my birthday, make it happen.

The message? According to Dragic, Wade "said: ‘We want to play like last game. Play your game. I am going to adapt, don't worry about that.'"
Once again, Wade is making the case that winning trumps all else. His "speech" to his team, whatever it was -- communicate this: you do your thing as best as you can, I will adapt.
That's the attitude of a true captain and one that has the team's interest in mind.

And this right there is what drives me and the fans crazy!!!!!! How many damn games into the season did this take? Why does it take a flabbergasted hurt Wade watching from the bench to realize it's for the best and not pushed by management and coaching staff? If fans, commentators and analyst have been asking for a change in offense that fits, why didn't the coaching staff fix it? Why is that even when Miami had the big three era, we were never a dominant team in the season, other our 27 win streak our record wasn't otherworldly in the end either?
the answer is rather simple, our coaching has never magnified, amplified or used the full potential of its roster. We don't have a coach willing to sit it's star players and make in game adjustments that goes against the excel spreadsheet.
Listen Spo is mart and he throws out there 100 million different rotations to see what works, but he has the toughest of times making someone change their play style to help the team. He has this passive aggressive way of moving every body else around and after 60 games Wade says shoot guys maybe we should be playing the way, I should adapt. It's so damn painful we have continue to see the same issues over and over until the star players make the adjustments themselves out of sheer necessity because it's so painfully obvious to the entire universe.
We get Wade and Lebron having A season ending game altering decision after losing in the first playoffs. Had Miami had a more demanding coaching staff like San Antonio half way through the season, that conversation would of happened and Heat would of been more in tuned, a hirearchy set, and organized system throughout the big three era.
It's been talked about on 790 the ticket many times that as well spoken as Spo is players have a hard time understanding what he wants, and were they stand. He hides al this in his passive aggresive rotation mayhem in the hopes players catch on eventually.
